Hi Im going through the same thing right now. I went to my general prac. DR yesterday he said he didn't feel anything enlarged and took blood test, so we will see. I think i'm going to call my lapband Dr. to see what she thinks. I have pain after I eat and then drink, the more I drink the worst the pain is I can hardly breath on sunday when it happend. I'm not throwing up, no fever, nothing stuck, the pain is not around my port, so anyways I guess I will call the Dr tomorrow.

I called and it happends that the Dr that did the fill was the on call Dr and he was at the hospital doing rounds. I went over he took some out "how do you spell relief u-n-f-i-l-l". Thanks :thumbup:

I changed Dr's and the new Dr didn't have my chart but filled me anyways. I think he put too much. Friday was the first time I tried to eat anything of substance since the fill on Wednesday. I am struggling to get anything down including water. This is the first time I have ever had heartburn and the gurling up sensation. I called to leave a message on the Dr voicemail and it says to page the Dr on call in case of emergency is being to tight an emergency?

Well The Dr said I had Band Dilation, or pouch stretched I'm looking up to see what that really means. They said it was bad probably from the congestion cloging up the opening but they removed 2.0 CC out and want me to come back in one week. So thats scary cause it not usual, but I will follow their directions of 3 day liquids and 3 day mushies. On a good note I lost 14 more pounds:smile:

Its nice to know I'm not alone, I called the doctor and I'm going in tomorrow to have some taken out. I have been soo weak and tired due to lack of food. I can wait to feel better tomorrow. Thanks Vine

I don't mind all the things I have given up for my band, it has totally been worth it. I get the lap band blues when I can't eat anything at all, espicially after I know I have tried to do everything right. For the last 3 months I have been filled/unfilled and in March I thought we got it right, but here lately I have not been able to get much down since since Sunday. Monday and Tues anything I ate I had to "Pb" so On Wednesday -Friday I put myself on liquids and I tried to eat something on Sat, I got the first bite down andI felt the tightness in my chest. In order to get liquids down I have to take very very very small sips or I get an airbubble. Thats another thing I get lots of airbubbles when I eat or drink and I end up burping alot and then I get painful hiccups. Can anyone relate?:leaving:
